Assignment for Sept. 17

Sorry for the sound trouble on MSP - here is what you need to do: go to the Options menu, and select "DSP status..." under driver, the second option, select "CoreAudio Built-in Audio" or whatever your sound card happens to be - then the sound should work.

For Monday, if you haven't already made your sounds, please do so right away; go through tutorials 7 - 10; and take the additive synth patch I made, and modify it in some cool way: perhaps add level meters, so you can tell if you're clipping; try adding more partials to make better sounds; add a waveform object; explore some of the many options in the spectroscope object; add a noteslider to control your fundamental frequency - there's tons of stuff you could add!
